GHS boomers? strings

rogue · 03-12-2006, 05:34 AM

hi all, firstly i hope this is in the right place, but i am a beginner.

iv been playing my two new 7 strings about a month (nj 7 string bcr + washburn wg587) im getting them professionally set up in two weeks and i want to get some decent new strings to set them up with, so i can then stay with the same make of strings.

i don't know much about what strings to choose, i play heavy metal, rock etc

are these any good?

PERSONALLY, i'd go for a slightly heavier B string (i'd do a 60 on that set, at least.. just me though)... But yeah, that should be decent enough.

I've been using boomers for years now. Great strings if you want a tight tone.

anyone here happen to play them on a bcr nj warlock

Never on a warlock, but that particular set is my favorite non-Elixer set of 9's on the market. Great sounding strings, they hold up well, and IMO a .58 is a perfect balance for a 9-42. They also do a 10-60 which is worth a look.

I use the 10-60 set on my Ibanez and I like it. I'd want a BIT more tension in the low-end though (but thats a matter of preference)

I just ordered a bunch of GHS 10-60's from JustStrings.com for a great price. I look forward to giving them a go.

All i've used for at least the last 15 years or so has been Boomers.

I have Boomers .010 to .060 on my Danelectro (can't go any heavier due to the bridge design, and i don't want to drill it out for a larger string), and that's what my Leviiathan will be strung with. Great strings. The bottom string could stand to be a touch heavier, though. On my Dean, i string it up with a standard GBM set, which is .011 to .050, and i put a .070 single on the bottom.

All from juststrings.com

If you want to go a bit heavier use the Zakk Wylde set 10/60 & use a 26 for the middle string.

I've found decent 7string sets hard to find in the UK.

I've used Boomers on both my 7s for a while now & they have a nice crisp tone & lack of mud.
